- XXXVI.
- In the name of life.
- I adore, glorify and praise that great, hidden, first Mānā,
- who dwelt 999,000 myriad years in his own Škīnā alone,
- to whom no comrade had approached
- except that great, hidden, first Mānā,
- in whom he dwelt and became great.
- Then I adore, glorify and praise that great, hidden, first Nituftā,
- from which had arisen those who had dwelt 144,000 myriad years in their own Škīnā alone,
- to whom no comrade had approached.
- Then I adore, glorify and praise Sar,
- that great, hidden, first vine who dwelt with them.
- Then I glorify, exalt and praise Pirūn,
- that great, hidden, first vine
- from which 880,000 myriad of Uthras arose.
- From them and those Uthras arose an Uthra
- whose name is "the great face of glory,"
- the smallest among his brothers,
- the oldest among his fathers.
- Mandā d-Haijē, the equipped Uthra, taught, revealed, and said,
- "Over every Nāsōraean who says sitting
- 'you first life is established'
- and establishes the Pihtā,
- damnation will come from the house of life."
- But I am established by the light of life.
- And the life is victorious.
